The Carter County Mews A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF CARTER COUNTY REPUBLICAN IN POLITICS. $1.00 IN THE COUNTY, $1.25 OUTSIDE THE COUNTY PER YEAR IN ADVANCE VOL. 7 ELLSINORE, CARTER COUNTY, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1925. NO. 11 WOMAN SLASHES WRIST WITH AX Young People are Better Today Than Fifty Years Ago Yep, the young people of today are better than they were fifty years ago At least that is the out of a small pine tree, to fight way it was decided at the School Annie Gore, who lives about four miles south of here, accident-ly slashed her left wrist with an ax Saturday night. It happened when she attempted to cut -the top fire, which had crept in on them from the timber. She bent the sapling over with one hand and in swinging the ax with the other, missed the tree and cut her wrist, severing all the arteries. Dr. C. C. Sheets was summoned and he immediately tied the arteries. She was very weak from the loss of blood when the doctor arrived, but is gaining strength now. Legislative Letter Jefferson City, March 7 Real progress has been made by both houses of the General Assembly the past week and many bills have been passed by the House and Senate. The calendar in ttie House Is still heavy, but a few good days' work like some of those the past week will cut it down materially and hasten the day of adjournment. Governor Baker's message de livered at a joint session of the House and Senate on Wednesday laid out a program which he believes will bring results that will be acceptable to the people when it is fully explained. At any rate, he made it plain that he was willing to accept full responsibility if the program was followed by the General Assembly. As part oi the measures he en dorses have been introduced by democrats and part by republicans there should be little politics in the matter. While some have been asserting right along that there was plenty of money in sight to take care of the actual needs of ihe state institutions, others in both parties insist that the state is facing a condition that must be met by the production of more revenue so that the educational institutions, the public schools and the state wards may not be seriously crippled The recommendations ' of the governor, if carried out, will yield, it is estimated, approximately $4,000,000 additional revenue in the next biennial period. This will give the university as much as in in the last two years, and all other institutions aud the schools will fare as well, though the total -will not be as great as for the past two years, the saving being made in other ways. Briefly, the additional revenue will come iu restoring the two cents cut from the state levy two years ago; increasing the state income tax from one to one and one-half per cent and increasing the corporation franchise tax one-half In addition to this, it is estimated that placing the collection of the income tax under the state tax commission will yield a million dollars more than the present method. The governor believes that if his consolidation measures are passed it will result in saving more than a half million dollars in the biennial period. Auditorium Saturday night when this question was debated upon The affirmative side, Pmf, R Smotherman and Glen Kitigen won. R. G Daubs and Orrai lucker represented ;ne negative Dr C. C. Sheets, who as to have been Mr. Daub's partner, was called out that evening so Mr, Tucker took his place. The arguments put up by the debaters were interesting but the affirmative side scored point alter point over their opponents. It did not take the judges, D. H. Nichols, !R. Bacon aud Herold Conday, long to decide in their favor. Two bal lots were cast for the affirmative and one for the negative, A short program which preceded the debate was Very good. Alter tne oeoate tne pies were sold at auction by Orran Tucker and J. R Carnahan. A fine cake was offered for the best looking young lady iu the house. Miss Gladys Condray received the cake. The total proceeds amounted to $21.85 which will be applied toward paying for the piano at the Baptist Church, Child Receives Bad Cut Playing 'Possum The four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Cates of Brushy Creek received a bad cut on his left hand between the little and third fingers, last Thursday. .LUC was pia.yiJii pusouu with his older brother when the accident happened. He was to be the "'possum" and his brother the hunter. When the '''possum" began to climb a tree, the hunter picked up an ax and started to chop, striking the little fellow's hand with it. He was rushed to Ellsinore where Dr. C. C. Sheets administered medical treatment. At the present time his hand is getting along nicely. Webb Boyer WHY NOT DRIVE TEAM IN CENTER OF ROAD? I have received many complaints here lately from motorists about the condition of the road on most j Farmers Supply Company LOCAL NEWS ITEMS But Wood made a business trip to St Louis, the first of the week. Complete line of harness at of the hills on the highway. Time and again I have seen men drive off to one side of the road on descending a hill with a load of ties, and it isjust this that leaves the road in such poor shape. After a few loads have been carried over a hill in this manner, the shoulder of the road is cut away. With a little rain on this, one can readily see how the road is gradually made very rough. It takes, time to build all this up, and this time costs the state money auu oi course the more time spent on this work, the n ore money it costs, and all this falls back on the car owner, who has helped build our highways and who helps maintain them. The automobile owners are per fectly willing that all should use the roads, but they feel that at least a little judgement should be exercised in the care for them. Complaints do not come from Carter County alone, but from many other places between here and Willow Springs. With a good brake on a wagon, it is just as easy to stay in the center of the road as it is to take to the side, and it is a whole lot better for the road. It would please me very much if all of you who drive a team on the highway would keep this in mind. So far I have not reported anyone, and I hope I never will have to, but if this practice is continued possibly the State Highway Commission will be able to stop it. Yours for better roads, D. H.
